International Day of Yoga:
The United Nations General Assembly declared June 21st as the International Day of Yoga
on Dec 11, 2014. Addressing the UN General Assembly on 27 September 2014, the Prime
Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi had said: "Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient
tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment;
harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about
exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By
changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change.
Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day." On Dec 11, India's Permanent
Representative introduced the draft resolution in UNGA. The draft text received broad
support from 177 Member States, including USA, and the draft text was adopted without a
vote. Hence, June 21, 2015 is the first International Day of Yoga. Government of India
celebrated IDY 2015 in all the countries around the world.
